It is not generally known that Me- Mahon had under consideration the PATRICK S, McMAHON purghase of the John B. Talcott prop- erty at-the corner of West Main street and Grove Hill.

A Part of New Britain McMahon was as much a part of New Britain as the soldiers’ monu- ment in Central Park. He was or- iginal in his language and never hesi- tated to say what was on his mind regardless of the persons or project it might hit. Like many men in public life, he was a devotee of the cigar and usually smoked one when he was not eating or sleeping. He made the boast recently that he had never becs “beaten out of five cents” on a busi- ness deal. While he was the owner and manager of Keeney’'s theater he was constantly embroiled m argu- ments with vaudeville performers re- garding the salary question and us- ually won his point. It is said that, in spit of his idlo- syncracies, McMahon was a liberal contributor toward St. Mary's church. Tuneral Tomorrow. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at St Mary's. church and burial will be in 8t. Mary's new gemetery. Born i New Britain, Borne here McMahon has spent his entire time in this city and from a small beginning he rose rapidly. McMahon was born on March 10, 1869, and would have been 54 years had he lived a few more weeks. As a boy he attended the Old Town school leaving at the age of 11 years to go to work in the Russell & Jir- win Mfg. Co. He often told later that his wages were four cents an hour. He remained at the factory until he was 17 years, then he quit factory life forever. He became a clerk in the xroct-r\ store of John O'Brien on North street. He remained there for about a year, then entered the employ of John ‘Kerin, who conducted a store at the corner of North and Clark streets, On becoming 21 years of age he look- ed over his worldly possessions, which consisted of $135 and decided to Lranch out for himself in business, He bought a place at the corner of Broad and High streets in the prop- erty now owned by Mary Wisk., This was the beginning of “ successful business carecr, Finding himself in a position to broaden out, he purchased a place on Commercial street, where he con- ducted a wholesale grocery house for several years, disposing of it later to the Miner, Read & Garrette Co. of New Haven. In all his business deal- ings McMahon showed keen business acumen. One of his first big ventures in real estate was the purchase of the Strickland property at the corner of Main and East Main street. This was done against the advice of his friends, but it proved a success.

Tilson for the ln Freeman, ' Glynn and Fenn voted for it, and Mr. | ‘ Facts to Grand Jury for the Merritt of Stamford, who was absent, | was paired for the increase. Mr, Til- *( son voted against it. It was a great victory “bloc* because it marks the first time the budget system has been over- thrown by congress on a really big issue since the inauguration of the new appropriation system. Sentiment did not enter into the vote; it was a plain and premeditated action to get inereased river and harbors appropri- atfong without regard to the views of the b¥dget bureau or the housc lead- ers, who were against it. If the Senate, as expected, approves the increase the following sums will be available July 1 for work on Connecticut rivers and harbors dur- ing the ensuing twelve months: Connecticut river, below Hartford, $70,000; + Duck .Tsland . harbor of refuge, $44,000; Bridgeport harbor, $97,000; Norwalg harbor. $20,000; Stamford harbor, $30,000; Green- wich harbor, $8,700, Concurrence by the senate in the house appropriation of $56,000,000 for river and harbor maintenance and improvements next vear was forecast today when the senate commerce committee voted eight to two to stand | | by the house figure.
